YoCrunch yogurts recalled over potential choking risk from plastic pieces
Popular YoCrunch yogurt products are being voluntarily recalled following consumer reports of plastic pieces in the dome topper that could potentially cause choking, parent company Danone U.S. announced Tuesday. The company, based in White Plains, New York, issued the recall on Friday for "all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch® products currently inmarket," according to the release, and is being conducted with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. "The plastic pieces are transparent, may have sharp edges, and could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length," the statement read. Only the separately packaged topper is affected and not the yogurt itself, the release stated. Customers who purchased the affected products are advised not to consume them and may contact the company regarding refunds. "The company is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch® products so many people enjoy," the company said.

Popular yogurt recalled; could contain sharp plastic pieces
(WJW) – A popular yogurt company is recalling more than a dozen of its varieties due to the potential presence of plastic pieces that could have sharp edges and cause choking, as seen in a recall alert published by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Bread sold at Walmart and Kroger recalled According to the recall alert, Danone U.S. is voluntarily recalling all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch products currently sold at retail stores nationwide. Danone says consumers have reported finding plastic pieces in the 'dome toppers,' which are separate compartments containing the yogurts' toppings. Officials say only the separately packaged toppers are affected — not the separately packaged yogurt. KFC offers free buckets of chicken in 'comeback' 'The plastic pieces are transparent, may have sharp edges, and could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length,' reads the alert.

Yogurt Recall Sparks Nationwide Warning to Customers
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Danone U.S. is recalling all YoCrunch® products due to fears of potential plastic pieces in the dome topper. Newsweek has reached out to the company via email Monday night for comment. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated in 2025 due to the potential for damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. Contaminants like plastic present health risks including choking, damage to teeth, digestive tract injury and the potential for microplastic absorption leading to systemic exposure. Foreign objects in food products, like small plastic shards, could obstruct airways, especially in vulnerable populations like children and older adults. What To Know The voluntary recall affects all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch® yogurts and is isolated only to the separate topper and does not impact the yogurt itself, the FDA says. The agency's alert has images and product details including lot numbers and expiration dates listed in a chart on its website for customers to reference. The FDA warns if people consume the product and there is plastic in the dome topper, it could "cause a choking response." It was unknown to Newsweek if there had been any injuries or illnesses related to this recall at the time of publication. YoCrunch® yogurt can be seen in a July 14 recall due to the potential presence of plastic in the product's topper. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) YoCrunch® yogurt can be seen in a July 14 recall due to the potential presence of plastic in the product's topper. (Photo from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) What People Are Saying The FDA in the alert, in part: "Consumer complaints have reported the presence of plastic pieces in the toppers, which have the potential to cause choking. The plastic pieces are transparent, may have sharp edges, and could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length." The FDA alert continued: "This voluntary recall was initiated on July 11, 2025, and is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch® products so many people enjoy." What Happens Next The FDA is expected to continue monitoring the recall, and additional guidance may be issued as more information is gathered regarding the scope of distribution. Consumers who have purchased the recalled YoCrunch® yogurts are advised to check product labels and contact the company's Consumer Care Line at 1-877-344-4886 on weekdays for refund information.
